TTU401 - Weldmate 30-Inch Brown Leather Welding Jacket, Size XXL

Heavy-Duty Industrial Protection

The Weldmate TTU401 Leather Welding Jacket is a premier piece of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) engineered for professional welders engaged in heavy-duty fabrication and industrial repair. Manufactured from high-grade brown leather, this jacket is designed to withstand the rigorous conditions of welding environments where exposure to high heat, molten metal spatter, and open arcs is commonplace. The material's inherent density and thermal resistance make it significantly more durable than flame-retardant cotton alternatives, providing a robust barrier against burn-through and physical abrasion.

A key specification of the TTU401 is its 30-inch length. This extended cut is critical for safety compliance, as it ensures adequate overlap with welding trousers or aprons, thereby eliminating gaps in protection around the waistline—a common vulnerability in standard-length garments. The XXL (2XL) sizing is calibrated to accommodate the bulk of underlying workwear, ensuring that the wearer maintains a full range of motion without the garment binding at the shoulders or elbows. This ergonomic consideration is vital for maintaining productivity and reducing fatigue during long shifts.

Structurally, the jacket features reinforced stitching, typically utilizing high-strength thread such as Kevlar, to prevent seam failure when exposed to sparks and mechanical stress. The closure system is designed to be robust and easy to manipulate, ensuring the jacket remains securely fastened to prevent the ingress of sparks. The leather surface also provides excellent protection against the intense Ultraviolet (UV) and Infrared (IR) radiation generated by welding arcs, preventing radiation burns on the torso and arms. This product is suitable for a wide range of welding processes, including Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW), and Flux-Cored Arc Welding (FCAW), as well as thermal cutting and gouging operations.

Maintenance of the Weldmate TTU401 involves keeping the leather dry and free from excessive oil or grease buildup. While not machine washable, the leather can be spot cleaned and treated with leather conditioners to maintain pliability over time. By investing in this high-quality leather garment, safety managers and welders ensure compliance with safety standards while benefiting from a product built for longevity and reliable performance in the harshest shop environments.
